[That's fine, Vash would rather he didn't pick up on it anyway. He's in: Pretend bad things don't happen and they'll go away mode.] Yeah, well, he has so many friends I wasn't sure if I'd know everyone to invite, and it just seemed rude to say: Naoki's friends only! So this way no one feels left out and he could maybe make more friends.

And besides; I doubt that many people who don't know him are really going to show up.
